A set of analytical expressions and a computerised simulation model has been designed by the National Bureau of Standards so that airport planners and designers can analyse the capacity and performance of present airport configurations and predict the performance of new configurations, equipment and operating rules. The analytic formulae express runway capacity for simple airport configurations in terms of average landing and takeoff times, the mix of different kinds of aircraft, and other factors. For a wider variety of airport configurations, the computerised simulation model can be used to estimate throughput (number of takeoffs and landings in a given time interval) and delay (the extra time needed to complete a takeoff or landing beyond that required when there is no other traffic).
